Winning at Reversi requires considerable skill and strategic thinking. Here are a few strategic concepts to consider.

In Reversi it's not enough to simply try to capture the maximum number of your opponent's pieces on each turn. Beyond the beginner level, you will need to be considering the ramifications of your moves down the line and looking ahead, well beyond the current move. For example, to take a corner you may first need to force your opponent to play into the square next to the corner.

Computers are much more proficient at looking ahead and analyzing possible outcomes than humans are. That's why good computer opponents beat good human players.

The advantage to taking the corners is obvious: a corner piece cannot be flipped by your opponent. Good players work towards setting themselves up to take corners. However, taking corners is not the ultimate goal but rather part of the overall strategic picture.

To achieve your objective, you need to make plays that limit your opponent's options and force them into certain moves.

One example of this is the so-called 'minimum disk strategy'. The essence of this strategy is the fewer disks you have in play, the fewer options your opponent will have. Of course, at some point in the game you will abandon this strategy and beginning flipping your opponent's pieces in earnest.

How to Play Reversi

Reversi was originally a board game that has become highly popular as a desktop computer game much like the card games solitaire and spider. It is also known by the trade name 'Othello'. It is categorized as an abstract strategy board game with two players.

The board is composed of 8 columns and 8 rows and each player has pieces or discs of differing colors (usually black and white).

The aim of the game is to end up with the most pieces of your color on the board by the end of the game. The end is reached when either the board is full or when neither player is able to perform a legal move.

Starting the Game

Although the original game did not have rules for a starting position, modern interpretations, including that of Othello, start with two of each player's pieces in the 4 central squares. The pieces are positioned in such a way that neither player has their pieces connected vertically or horizontally.

Generally speaking black goes first (where the pieces are black and white).

How

A legal move consists of a player placing one piece on the board whereby a horizontal, vertical or diagonal straight line is created that has the moving player's pieces at either end and all pieces in between are of the opposing player.

Assuming the moving player is black all the white pieces in between the two black pieces are 'turned black'. This action is repeated for every legal line that has been created by the new piece. Once all legal lines have been turned the move is over.

Players continue to take turns to move until an end is reached. At this point the pieces on the board are counted up and the winner is the person with the most reverse pieces on the board.
